Based in Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Network for Building Peace is made up of 100 members. Each of the members are leading peace and human rights organisations working in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Network exists to contribute to building a Bosnia-Herzegovina where conflicts are resolved non-violently. With this aim, they are creating frameworks for joint, coordinated activities of a number of civil society organisations, local government, the business sector, media and government institutions.
